DJ- As they would say- Nigga Please!<br /><br /><br />Note the use of the word Nigga. It is my understanding (which comes from annual training in cultural diversity) that this word is NOT the same as the one ending in "er".

Re: South Central LA math exam

I imo do not believe KBs post is offensive. Todays cultural use of terms includes the word nigga. Please review current popular music, media quotes of both public and private folks, and so forth. What is tolerable for some, is good for all imo. <br /><br />I do believe also that as a general observation...those American Citizens of color do not make up a measurable portion of the day to day mainstream active internet forums. If you doubt this statement of mine, google around and look for some minority forums. I have. Most I find are pertinent to civil rights, education, and so forth. I would enjoy crossing a minority "talk" forum, such as "dockside chat", to listen in and possibly interact. Can't find one.

KB, I appologize if I'm wrong, but you might just have crossed the line with that one.

agitator,<br /><br />I was "roasted" in another thread for having an opinion. This one was a "spoof", kind of "Ha-Ha".<br /><br />BTW, in this section of iboats, very few can take a joke-especially the liberals!

Re: South Central LA math exam

I guess its about as racist as the mexican presidents comments about workers. it was funny and sadly true now the jesse jackson and his merry band are all up in arms. I personnaly found it funny but sadly applicable in a lot of places. by all races. gangs are not just mexicans.<br /> KB I agree but it seems ya have to be the right color or at least not know which end of the hat faces what direction to say it.<br /> DJ I am with ya. sometimes sarcasm is all I got left :) but ya have to admit its a funny test.

Re: South Central LA math exam

I like it. It looks like the test I had.<br /><br />Let me tell you when we went to MN to pickup my boat there were two black guys talking to the white female desk clerk and ever other word they said to each other was nigga.<br /><br />Sorry to say it kinda makes you mad cause IF I has said ok Nigga hurry up they would have holed me.<br /><br />Oh well there is only 2% blacks here but 50% Spanish/mexican/hispanic. Homie is the word here I believe.<br /><br />Homie can do that test in his sleep if it was in spanish. :)

Re: South Central LA math exam

Need to change the name to Joker RG, Roboy just don't sound right.<br /><br /><br />Jeff- No apologees needed. I figured by now that it would be trashed myself. I had JUST finished an online course and was kinda fired up over the "explaining" of the "a" vs "er" and what difference it made whether I as a white Native American ( I was born here) or a black Native American said it. Feel free to join in and thrash, its what DC is about. I probably did step over the line. I gotta watch it, can't let the man keep me down. Welcome aboard.

Well, you can't go "over the line" if you set your starting place on the wrong side of the line from the beginning.

LMAO!! Both Gauges post and KB's comment make me laugh. I guess that means I started on the "wrong side of the line". ;) Then again I took my rose colored glasses off along time ago. Oopps! I said colored, my bad :p

Re: South Central LA math exam

pjc and KB thank you for your commments and your welcome. I've actually been hanging around these boards since last summer and I have learned a hell of a lot. Haven't posted all that much as I am fairly new to boats and don't tend to post unless I feel I can add value to the discussion. Just so you know, I've never been accused of being particularely politically correct or from the "right" side of the line. Upsets my wife of 30 years regularly. Having spent the last bunch of years in the corporate environment though, I am just a little wary of getting involved in this kind of discussion, although I certainly do enjoy them. ;) :)
